When developers have tried to railroad other communities in the Hudson Valley, James has often been the lone elected official in Albany to put a stop to it. He has and will continue to fight to make sure every community plays by the same set of rules.
James authored legislation to update the state's antiquated village incorporation laws that have allowed communities to be taken hostage by hostile developers. He also authored and passed legislation to unmask shady, anonymous real estate LLCs and successfully fought to enact a new law that requires additional oversight of all public water wells, including the Kiryas-Joel owned well in Mountainville.
